Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE), Small Business Enterprise (SBE), and Small Business Concern Involvement. The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania is committed to providing opportunities for Disadvantaged Business Enterprises (DBEs), Small Business Enterprises (SBEs), and small business concerns to compete for work. DBEs are certified by the Pennsylvania Unified Certification Program (PA UCP) in accordance with 49 CFR Part 26. SBEs are certified by the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation. Small business concerns are those entities seeking to participate in Commonwealth contracts that meet the definition of a small business concern set forth in Section 3 of the Small Business Act and Small Business Administration regulations implementing it at 13 CFR Part 121. Contractors are encouraged to involve Disadvantaged Business Enterprises, Small Business Enterprises, and small business concerns in the required work and to submit documentation of any such involvement in the proposal.
